Data is code

Hello everybody

Does anybody know about other languages for which data is code and vice versa than just Lisp (and its dialects) and Rebol? Are there any which support or, even better, encourage concurrency? And last but not least, is 'metamorphic' the proper term to refer to the attribute described above?

Thank you very much in advance
